I have the redremote serial (link already posted) and it was a doddle to
setup.. although I did have to configure it on a windows box first (no
big deal - and only took 30 seconds with the supplied windows application)
little bit of sticky-tape to attach to the IR on the front of the Sky
box and I was away.. very reliable too
As already mentioned it takes a couple of seconds to switch channels but
as you will soon realise this isn't a problem as with Myth you'll spend
all your time watching stuff already recorded earlier.
Have fun!
